Acrobat X vs XI licensing

We have several PCs running Adobe X Standard. One of the PCs has just been replaced & we want to install the program on it. The user has gone from Windows XP to Windows 7. The downloads now are all Acrobat XI not X. Does the same licence cover it?
Thanks.

No, you would need to purchase an upgrade to go from Acrobat X to XI.
However, if you purchased a copy of Acrobat X and no longer use that compute, you can simply install it to the new computer with the saved installer - or did you not save what you purchased?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat 10 Standard Volume License

    Need the Medial for these two products:
    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Volume License

    I have the key for both. All is legal, however, for some crazy reason Adobe does not allow download of previous versions of its products.
    I need a link to download or a copy of ISO if anyone has it.
    Willing to pay for DVD cost and shipping if needed.

  • Have the Adobe Acrobat XI Standard concurrent licensing (not per-seat license)?

    Question about Adobe Acrobat XI Standard corporate licensing. Have the concurrent license (not per-seat, like Floating licensing)?

    I don't believe this is allowed by the EULA:
    Licenses and terms of use | Adobe

  • With both Acrobat 9 and XI installed, is the Acrobat 9 version still licensed when upgraded to XI?

    I have a Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and Acrobat XI now in trial.  I want to keep both versions installed for development reasons.
    If I activate Acrobat XI with an upgrade key will my Acrobat 9 still be licensed?

    I am not a lawyer, so I am only giving an opinion. Basically there is the intent of the license as I read it (you might refer to the license if you want to interpret yourself) is to have teh software installed on at most 2 machines and be used by you on only 1 machine at a time. Within this context, if you had both 9 and XI on the same machines and are only using one at a time, the intent seems to be met. However, lawyers love technicalities, as that is what keeps them employed. I might go to my machine with XI and take a brief look at the license and I would suggest you do the same.
    In any case, Happy Thanksgiving from the USA.

    Hi rapidray511,
    Welcome to the Community!
    Acrobat doesn't have Deactivate button under Help menu, please see the link in order to deactivate the product: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html. Check out the section which talks about Deactivation problems if you can't find Deactivate button under Help.

  • Adobe acrobat 9 pro installation/licensing issues

    I installed my licensed copy of Acrobat 9 on a new Windows  7 system.  Acrobat launched but would not open files and shuts down on attempt. Message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working" with subtext "You cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
    I doubt any of you have a solution, so I simply remark on what transpired as a warning and complaint:
    1.  I went to Adobe databse and found that a patch was provided to correct installations/licensing problems on windows 7.  I downloaded it and installed per instructions.  It did not resolve the problem.
    2.  I uninstalled/reinstalled several times. no resolution.
    3.  I called customer support and was outsourced to someone who knew little and first sent me to a kb article having to do with 'expired licensing' even though I clearly informed them that the message and the fact had nothing to do with expired licenses.  They finally referred me to kb405970 on "Licensing has stopped working".  I tried all of the applicable solutions (methods 1-6) and none of them worked.  Now I will have to wait until tomorrow (though I had pressing work to do today) to contact support again.  I fear I will get another outsourced tech who knows little and wastes more of my time.  Such is Adobe's way of supporting paid and licensed product users.
    I understand and sympathize with Adobe's wishes to protect its products from piracy.  However, I expect and paid for a product which works on major and supported operating systems like windows 7. I also understand that if MS or Mac put out a new OS or version, it may require certain adjustments or updates on Adobe's part.  What I do not understand (or have patience with) is that 1) Adobe failed to provide a patch that works; 2) that it then sends me to an outsourced customer service tech who didn't have the knowledge to correct the problem and gave me the wrong information to begin with*. What I finally got was the kb article with a series of multi-step instructions for several methods, none of which worked.  This is an unprofessional and unethical response to those of us who have paid for our product and expect it to work under reasonable conditions in a supported environment.  This is not an acceptable good-faith effort to resolve issues for which Adobe should take full responsibility.
    If any of you do happen to have a real solution (or had a similar problem) do let me know....
    *The first thing the outsourced tech wished to do was get onto my machine via a remote connection, before anything was tried other than giving them the error message and have them provide me with the wrong information. It became clear that this person had less knowledge than I do (which isn't saying much) and there was no way I was going to permit a clueless techie to crawl around in my machine and fiddle with settings.  That is simply asking for trouble. I'm perfectly capable of opening panels and following instructions myself. DC should be the last thing tried; not the first.

    Bill,  I tried as you suggested - installed every update from 9.1  through 9.3.4.  The 'license not working message persists'. The only change was that now Acrobat will not close and must be forced to shut down from the taskbar menu.  I appreciate the suggestion though.
    Called Adobe (Manila) again, within the hours given on their contact page for installation and licensing issues, and was told "It's Sunday, nobody here can help you".  Finally, after an hour of hammering got them to get me a supervisor (their script says to tell the customer there "Is no supervisor available on Sunday"  -  Finally the "supervisor", Alvin, suggested I need a new serial number and left me on the line while he called someone else to get on. Cameback and informed me that he couldn't get one, I'd have to call Monday (how's that for having solutions?)  Result: wasted more time and had more delay on my project.
    Conclusion:  Adobe has become obsessed and 'piranoic' about piracy and licensing to the extent that they put that first and client/customer needs second (if that).  After reading a lot of online 'Adobe Sucks'  forums, I'm inclined to believe Adobe is shooting itself in its own foot and is not going to be a reliable method of presentation/document transmission in the future - service and support is an integral part of software and other concerns such as piracy or licensing need to be transparent to legitimate users.  Sad that they spend so much time on this, when they need to be fixing real problems.  As well, these outsourcing Philipines companies are poor substitutes for good support - they are so scripted and obsessed with regulations over solutions that it is clear that only the most persistent users will get anywhere with them.  As a frontline of contact with after-sale clients, they are going to cost Adobe a lot of potential business in the future, whatever their short-term savings.  Too bad. Adobe used to be a leader in the market.
    Next round:  Calling Manila again this am. to be continued...

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Sudden license issue prevent use

    When trying to open a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro, I get to open it, but after a few seconds a window pops up, titled: “Licensing for this product has stopped working.”
    The message reads: “You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.
    (148:3)”
    It is not possible for me to reinstall. My Acrobat 9 Pro started as Acrobat 5 many years ago, and since I have downloaded all version upgrades. I don’t have all the version upgrades anymore, hence I contact you. How to fix?

    Ravi and Virtualmonk1,
    Thanks for your responses.
    The licensing repair tool kit worked very well, although when running it, no indication was given that it had performed its job, like "completed", "updated" or similar, which was a little confusing. 
    My Avira Antivirus indicated no trojans.However, I have experienced several times that various antivirus software give false warnings, because they find some elements of teh software to resemble some trojan behaviour.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro e-license issue

    Hello,
    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed in a PC running Windows 7 (64 bit). Whenever I try to download the e-license it gives me the following error message:
    I already tried disabling the firewall but it didn't work, I'm not connected to any proxy server by the way. I would highly appreciate any help, thank you.

    I am not sure what you mean by an e-license. Normally you would have a S/N to enter or log into Adobe with your ID to activate (though not for AA 8 as I recall). Simply install and enter the S/N that you should have for the product. After the install, it is critical that you do the updates for Acrobat to properly work. If you can not get them through the help menu, the updates are available at Index of ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/ .

  • Acrobat 9.0 Standard Licensing Errors

    I have 11 copies of Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard installed in

  • Acrobat 9.0 pro Licensing Issues

    I have a license key that I was using on my desktop, I uninstalled the software off of my desktop so I can install it on my new computer and now the key is listed as invalid although I have uninstalled from desktop and rebooted.

    Hi JamesJAlcus,
    In order to install Acrobat with the same serial key on the new machine, you might need to first deactivate it from the first one.
    Open Acrobat and choose 'Help> Deactivate' to uninstall it completely.
    Then, install Acrobat on the second machine and activate from 'Help> Activate' option using the same serial key.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,

  • Will an Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Upgrade license work to upgrade an Adobe Acrobat XI Standard installation?

    The buying guide for the XI Pro Upgrade (here - Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro) does not list Adobe XI Standard in the left hand column... but I currently have XI Standard and want to to go XI Pro, will this work?

    Hi Mike ,
    There is no such policy to upgrade license from Acrobat XI Standard to Acrobat XI Pro.
    If you have the subscription for the Standard version ,you need to get that cancelled and get a new subscription for Acrobat Pro.
    If you have the retail version or if you have purchased the software ,you can return that and get a new retail version for Acrobat XI Pro.
    For more information ,please contact the technical support.

  • Which fonts (if any) are included in Acrobat XI Pro (student license)?

    It was mentioned to me that rather than buying only the licenses for a few fonts I am interested in, I should consider purchasing Acrobat XI Pro as the fonts may come with the package. However, nowhere can I seem to find out if any fonts indeed come with Acrobat XI Pro. Can someone please advise? Thank you.

    Acrobat is not one of the Adobe products that comes bundled with a bunch of fonts.
    Buried within Acrobat's resources are a bunch of fonts to support PDF usage in various non-Latin character set languages, but these are not available for use by other programs as-installed.
    By the way, student and educational licenses of Adobe products come with the same resources as those for full commercial license use.
